This information is valuable in random vibration and the reliability analysis of hysteretically yielding structures.
The actuator is built using a micromechanical bulk silicon process yielding structures with a low rotational spring constant due to beams with a high length to width ratio.
Nanocomposite polymer and ultrathin film membranes have shown great promise in enhancing gas permeation and selectivity properties by interfacially straining polymer matrices, yielding structures of higher free volume.
All fatty acid anions were readily intercalated into the LDH, yielding structures with basal spacing values ranging between 32 Å (LDH-LINOLEN) and 40 Å (LDH-ELA).
This paper proposes a novel computationally economical stochastic dynamics framework to estimate the peak inelastic response of yielding structures modelled as nonlinear multi degree-of-freedom (DOF) systems subject to a given linear response spectrum defined for different damping ratios.
It is believed that the proposed approach can be an effective tool in the preliminary aseismic design stages of yielding structures following either a force-based or a displacement-based methodology.
Since a life-cycle cost-based optimization methodology could be computationally demanding especially for yielding structures, the use a response spectrum method of analysis is considered for the response and failure cost calculations.
Total variation minimization (TMV, or "regularization") based on compressed sensing (CS) (Donoho 2006) has been applied successfully to ET in material sciences, yielding structures with minimal missing wedge artifacts and improved contrast (Saghi et al. 2011; Goris et al. 2012; Leary et al. 2013).
Here we use the Escherichia coli secondary transporter AcrB as a model membrane protein to demonstrate how a SMALP scaffold can be used to visualise membrane proteins, embedded in a near-native lipid environment, by negative stain electron microscopy, yielding structures at a modest resolution in a short (days) timeframe.
Both these studies found that pristine nanotubes formed stable aggregates, whereas acid-treated nanotube suspension showed greater dispersion variability over time, yielding looser structures at large-length scales and more compact structures at small-length scales.
First, a structural analysis is performed on the basis of detectability measures in the light of the column characteristics, yielding candidate structures for a specific estimation task.
